Eyes squinting,
squirms with disquiet
howls in concert.

wrapped in mother’s arms
nestles to her breast
mouth opens.

Haiku Horizons: Open

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

broody means when you get those hormones and instincts to crave another baby, like nesting x

Sometimes just holding that small one – as a grandmother I get to do that again… sleeping children to me seem lighter. Perhaps when they are relaxed so are we?
FYI: With ‘B’ I review all comments – so If it is OK with you I’ll only post the one as I figured out you basically tried the same thing twice. (via Ntouch)
